Risk assessment error

Six pages of risk assessments to the animals, just half a page of risk assessment for humans!

Risk assessment for humans is totally inadequate –

Probability should be 'possible' – the score should be 2, several recent reports in the press of walkers attacked by grazing animals

Severity should be 'death' – score should 5, as fatalities from attacks by grazing animals have been reported not to mention a child kill when a sledge crashed into a post and wire fence of the type the council are proposing

Risk = Probability x Severity 2 x 5 = 10 this is too high a risk and measures should be taken to reduce
